Data Discovery for Earth Science

Websites like the NASA Earth Observatory showcase the many uses of satellite data to highlight interesting natural events. International partner instruments on NASA satellites such as Japan’s ASTER instrument and Canada’s MOPITT instrument, both onboard the Terra satellite, are also included as part of the Observatory. This challenge will ask you to devise a tool or technique to guide users to relevant datasets to study specific events.

EarthSciliksik: Application of Spiderbot on the Selected Earth Science-based Dataset Providers

Summary

EarthSciliksik was made to be the first search engine for datasets exclusively for Earth Science which aims to minimize the amount of time it takes for researchers to search, collect, and prepare data to study science branch events in detail.
